Swedish filmmaker Anders Palm has optioned Lauren Goldstein Crowe’s upcoming book, Isabella Blow: A Life in Fashion (out Nov 9) to produce as a film. The screenplay has already been written by Max Newsom and Nicola Brighton, according to Ms Goldstein Crowe, who has also been hired as a consultant on the film. Interestingly, the book Blow By Blow, co-written by Blow's widower, Detmar Blow, which comes out around the same time as Goldstein Crowe's, will not be as heavily consulted. Detmar had previously suggested Rachel Weisz play Blow (queer choice) in the film. [Source: WWD]

ReplyDeletehmm, could it be that spouses' accounts are generally not to be trusted, like, say, the hugely biased and entirely self-serving 'biography' of Nijinsky put together by his wife Romola Nijinska?

Dear Erudite Anon: I suspect that's exactly it. Not that dear cathy horyn of the nyt would even suspect so given the way she practically raved about the book 'blow by blow'.
ReplyDeleteMy autobio shall be called Blow by Blow too.
ReplyDeleteDear Beauty: Yes, it will come shrink wrapped and slapped with a sticker for grown ups only.
ReplyDeleteWhere did Cathy Horyn rave about Blow by Blow?
ReplyDeleteDear Anon: You will need to scroll quite a ways back on her blog On The Runway to read a 'review' - although 'personal thoughts' would be a more appropriate description.
